The function and event spaces will be enhanced with a new and sleek progressive design to create a controlled environment that professional meeting and event planners have been accustomed to in major metropolitan markets.

Most noticeable on the Event Level is the addition of a glass atrium enclosure overlooking the large indoor heated pool. Complimenting the pool on the hotel’s Patio Level is the new Hilton Fitness Center featuring Precor® exercise equipment, low impact flooring, Aquaverve® water cooler and filtration system, along with many SPRI®Fitness accessories.

The new Porte-cochère is only a hint to changes for the lobby and restaurants. These areas reflect the most noticeable change of the hotel’s floor plan. The complete redesign of the main entrance level assures four-season comfort in the lobby featuring a new expansive revolving door. Greeting guests will be the guest agents themselves at the open registration desk design – immediately portraying an inviting and comforting experience for the guests.
